Getting invalid version number error when connecting to peer

Help

I’m getting an error when trying to connect to a node. The IPFS instance is created in a class, with a JavaScript factory function. The connect function looks like this:

async connectToPeer(multiaddr, protocol = "/p2p-circuit/ipfs/") {
    try {
        console.log("swarm.connect: ", protocol + multiaddr);
        await this.node.swarm.connect(protocol + multiaddr);
    } catch (e) {
        throw(e);
    }
}

This will be passed to swarm.connet: /p2p-circuit/ipfs/QmWxWkrCcgNBG2uf1HSVAwb9RzcSYYC2d6CRsfJcqrz2FX

This is the error I get:

It is able to connect to peers, if I list connected peers the list is not empty.

This looks to be a bug in the relay dialing in libp2p, I created an issue to track this https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p/issues/789

Thank you,

this is the context: https://github.com/imestin/orbit-playground/blob/master/music-app-no-react/newpieceplease.js

connectToPeer is at line 179

And it’s called at line 271
NPP.onpeerconnect = console.log; await NPP.connectToPeer("QmWxWkrCcgNBG2uf1HSVAwb9RzcSYYC2d6CRsfJcqrz2FX");

It’s not sure that "QmWxWkrCcgNBG2uf1HSVAwb9RzcSYYC2d6CRsfJcqrz2FX" exists. Although that shouldn’t matter for the validation function.
